incredible sound!I couldn't believe the Alto Style Bose sunglasses/headphones would really work as showed. I've been using them now for around two weeks and was surprised! What a fantastic innovative product! I had already loaded the Bose Connect from the App Store on to my iPhone XS and within seconds I was experiencing such a wonderful Bose experience as the Bluetooth music from my phone was pleasantly all around me. I asked my son if he could hear the music and he said No. He was equally amazed as I continued to be at the quality of the sound the sunglasses put out. I have used them everyday since then and I am absolutely bowled over with the enjoyment I get whilst wearing them whilst shielding the sun from my eyes at the same time. One wonderful feature of the Bose Alto Style sunglasses is that whilst enjoying the music you are fully aware of what is going on around you and easily able to have conversations with others instead as I normally have to do and turn off and take off my current Bluetooth headphones. But most amazingly when I cycle I am also move aware of traffic and sound around so they are in my opinion the first headphones that I know of that keep you safer as well. Generally battery life is very good as on average I have been able to listen to music for around 4 hours on a full charge. I can without any doubt highly recommend the Alto Style glasses as a must have fashion, entertainment and safety accessory.
